Two residents of Paragon Estates in Brookshire urged the Waller County Commissioners Court to address speeding, a lack of sidewalks and missing stop signs on Peregrine Drive during public comment on April 16.

Resident Peter Wilkane said the neighborhood is a county road and that drivers frequently travel 50 mph or faster on Peregrine Drive even though portions of the development are posted at 25 mph. “It’s getting worse as these new developments are coming in,” Wilkane said, noting large delivery trucks, children and neighbors walking to mailboxes. He asked the county for more speed-limit signs and stop signs on cross streets.

Resident Patricia (last name not specified) reiterated that commercial delivery trucks and residents cross side streets without stopping because there are no stop signs where the side streets meet Peregrine Drive. “They go racing up and down Peregrine Drive, 50, 60, probably some of them even 70 miles an hour,” she said, and asked the court to consider speed bumps or additional signage. Both speakers said there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood and that walkers and pets are at risk.

A county staff member offered to collect contact information and follow up; commissioners did not take formal action during the meeting. Court staff advised the public that complaints had been made previously to the sheriff’s office and to county road staff but that residents should provide contact details so staff can coordinate a response.

The speakers said growth nearby — including new developments on State Highway 529 and additional construction on Peregrine and adjacent streets — has increased traffic volumes. Wilkane and other residents said prior sheriff responses have resulted in at least one citation but that threats and near-miss incidents continue.

The court did not vote on traffic-calming measures at the meeting. Staff indicated they would take the residents’ contact information and share it with relevant county departments for follow-up.
